A single "tsk".

This made the eyes of the spiritual farmers present light up, and they looked on with anticipation.

Liu Quan threw the weeds and seedlings he had bought onto the truck before slowly uttering four words.

"Never taking off his clothes—"

Then he smiled again.

"hiss--"

Just four words.

The spirit farmers present gasped in surprise, and after some unknown thought, they all gave knowing smiles.

Some of the younger barons were a little confused.

I don't know what they're laughing about.

"The Uncensored Conference is great, I have to go—"

"Let's go together! Even if we can't join, we can still enjoy the show."

"Just thinking about that vast expanse of white... ugh—"

"How could such a magnificent scene be complete without us men?!"

"I've long admired Fairy Bai. If I could catch a glimpse of her true form, wow, that would be truly—"

'

""

Perhaps it was the stirring of my emotions.

Even the shade of the trees no longer offered any coolness; everyone was sweating profusely, busily selling weeds and seedlings before quickly leaving.

Especially Liu San.

After finishing, he tossed five low-grade spirit stones to Liu Quan, said "money including principal and interest," and jogged away.

It's the direction you're running in.

It wasn't heading to their residence, but to the neighboring District D.

"Take it easy——"

Liu Quan only shouted once and then ignored them, throwing the purchased weeds and seedlings onto the truck one by one. His colorful robes shimmered with spiritual light, and a gentle breeze swept away the sweat that had beaded on his skin.

He stretched his legs with satisfaction.

"Cool!"

"I'll buy a robe once I've saved up enough spirit stones!"

Li Changsheng glanced enviously at the colorful robes he wore, suppressed his thoughts, moved the wooden basin containing the simply salted grey-hoofed rabbit pelts forward, and asked, "Uncle Liu, do you buy pelts?"

"All three are low-grade demonic beasts, Gray-hoofed Rabbits, undamaged—"

"Grey hoofed rabbit fur?"

Liu San glanced at him in surprise and laughed, "You really did run into some good luck at the 'Sacrificial Field'."

As he spoke, he half-squatted down.

He picked up the three pelts and inspected them briefly, confirming that the quality was indeed good. After thinking for a moment, he said, "The 'Beast Pen' specializes in buying spirit beast hides."

"These three grey-hoofed rabbit pelts of yours are all wild and of good quality. How about 115 low-grade spirit stones per pelt?"

The price was ten yuan lower than what Ningcheng offered.

But this is just rabbit skin; it doesn't include the dozens of kilograms of meat.

If we convert it to...

Uncle Liu offered him a price that was significantly higher than what Ning Cheng offered.

"Thank you, Uncle Liu."

After thinking for a moment, Li Changsheng nodded in agreement with a smile. Seeing that he wanted to take the spirit stones, he remembered something and quickly said, "By the way, Uncle Liu."

"I also want to buy some fire-attribute monster meat."

"I'm not particular about the taste or the type of monster. Do you have anything cheaper?"

"Fire-attribute beast meat? —"

Liu San glanced at him suspiciously, but didn't ask any further questions. After thinking for a moment, he said, "I remember there's a family in the 'Beast Pen' that raises 'Fire Silkworms.' In such a short time, they should have finished pupating and be dying."

"That stuff is disgusting, nobody wants to eat it."

"If you want, I can ask around for you. At most, a dozen or twenty spirit fragments can buy a moth that weighs more than a pound."

"Yes, yes—"

Upon hearing that it was so cheap, Li Changsheng nodded repeatedly. Considering that spirit beast meat had a long shelf life, he said, "I'll take all of them if there are no more than a hundred."

"It's just a small workshop. I'll ask around for you when we get back—"

Liu San nodded slightly.

The meat of a fire-attribute spirit beast was chosen.

Li Changsheng then thought of the animal pen and asked, "Uncle Liu, I obtained a few spirit beasts called 'Fire Rats' in the 'Sacrificial Fields,' and I'm thinking of trying to raise them."

"I wonder if it would be better to build a livestock pen in the paddy field."

"Should we just let them roam freely?"

"Fire raccoon? —"

Liu San felt the name sounded familiar, but couldn't quite place it. He didn't think much of it, looked Li Changsheng up and down, and laughed, "You're quite lucky, kid."

"Not only did we catch three 'Grey Hoofed Rabbits,' we also caught several spirit beasts."

He thought for a moment and said seriously, "If you're just raising this kid for fun, then let him roam freely."

"But if we're thinking about breeding—"

Liu Quan shook his head slightly and said, "I advise you to give up this idea—"

Then he explained to Li Changsheng why he said that.

First of all.

The "Fire Rat" that Li Changsheng obtained was a wild spirit beast.

Its habits are quite different from those of the mythical beasts kept in animal pen.

Putting aside other things.

Even just breeding and reproduction is extremely difficult.

Wild spirit beasts are fierce and temperamental, especially during their mating season. Even with a beast-taming contract, it is difficult to intervene.

This is what caused it.

The spirit beast may not be able to breed, thus wasting resources that would otherwise be used to raise it.

Furthermore.

Building a "beast pen" is not that simple.

From selecting materials for the "beast pen" to engraving what kind of array formations and creating a suitable environment for the spirit beasts to grow, etc.—

A dedicated "array master" is needed to design it.

This expense.

It is much higher than the "paddy fields" he cultivated.

Even if he solves the two problems mentioned above.

There is also the question of "bloodline".

Animal breeders who run "animal pen" discover that "spirit beasts" raised by humans gradually lose their natural instincts, causing their bloodline to regress, and the offspring they breed become worse and worse.

There are only a few experienced animal breeders with secret recipes.

Only in this way can the bloodline of "spirit beasts" be maintained and not decline, and their bloodline be gradually improved to make them have greater potential.

At this point...

Liu San told him about his Daoist companion, the "Tusked Boar," a low-grade spirit beast raised by "Qin Dabao," who was known as the Pig King.

His title was "King of Pigs".

These were three large breeding pigs bred by her family.

Each one of them was a mutated, top-grade first-tier "tusked boar." In terms of strength, even a regular late-stage Qi Refining cultivator wouldn't be able to defeat one of these boars.

It can be said.

The foundation of the Qin family's "beast pen" rests on these three large breeding pigs, which were bred and raised over a century.

in short.

There are no secret methods for breeding animals.

It's perfectly fine to keep it as a pet or train it into a protective spirit beast.

But they want to open a "beast pen".

It's not exactly wishful thinking, but it's pretty close.

In this regard.

There is a "nurturing eye".

Li Changsheng wasn't worried about breeding; what concerned him was the price of building the animal pen. After a moment's hesitation, he asked, "Uncle Liu, could you give me a rough estimate so I can give up on this idea?"

Liu Quan glanced at him and shook his head inwardly, but did not try to persuade him. With the "spiritual spring" that could produce spirit stones, Li Changsheng would not be completely defeated no matter how much he lost.

After thinking for a moment, he said, "If it's just to build a small animal pen—"

"Depending on the 'array master' you hire and the conditions for setting up the array, the price will likely range from ten thousand to thirty thousand low-grade spirit stones."

'

"Ten thousand to thirty thousand low-grade spirit stones—"

Li Changsheng was taken aback.

He realized that building a "animal pen" wouldn't be cheap.

But this is still too expensive.

It would cost at least ten thousand low-grade spirit stones; who could afford to build that?

Are all the cultivators in the "Beast Pen" this wealthy?

It seemed as if she could see through his thoughts.

Liu Quan glanced at him sideways and snorted, "Don't think nonsense. Not many people can afford to build a 'beast pen'."

"They're just raising one or two spirit beasts to make a living—"
